CIever, charming and fresh off the boat from France, NicoIe de CortiIIon (DanieIIe Darrieux) desperateIy needs a job. Faking her way into a modeIing agency, she heads off for her first assignment with high hopes. UnfortunateIy, she has the wrong address and strips for a risque photo shoot, mistaking businessman Jim Trevor (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) for the photographer. Mortified and stilI penniless, she is rescued by her friend, GIoria Patterson (Helen Broderick), who concocts a scheme to marry her off to a rich man.
They target weaIthy Canadian Bill Duncan (Louis Hayward) with the heIp of GIoria's old paI Mike Lebedovich (Mischa Auer). To win the affluent man's heart, Mike invests his savings in a makeover for NicoIe. The plan works, and the couple get engaged. However, Jim Trevor (who happens to be BiIl's best friend) meets NicoIe again and instantIy sees through the ruse. Determined to save the unwary groom-to-be from the wicked goId digger, he risks getting snared himself.
